纽约知名国家安全诉讼律所Faruqi & Faruqi， LLP正在对Gossamer Bio， Inc．展开调查，并提醒投资者，在该公司证券集体诉讼中寻求担任首席原告的截止日期为2026年6月1日。 该诉讼代表在2025年6月16日至2026年2月20日期间购买或以其他方式收购Gossamer Bio证券的所有个人和实体提起。 诉讼指控称，在整个集体诉讼期内，被告做出了虚假和/或误导性陈述，且/或未能披露以下事项：公司3期PROSERA试验的设计存在缺陷，特别是在控制拉丁美洲试验点的安慰剂反应方面存在不足。 2026年2月23日，Gossamer Bio公布了PROSERA试验的顶线结果，该试验评估了seralutinib治疗肺动脉高压的疗效。结果显示，试验未能达到第24周改善六分钟步行距离的主要终点，经安慰剂校正后的改善仅为13.3米，p值为0.0320，未能达到0.025的预设统计学阈值。 公司将这一失败归因于拉丁美洲试验点患者表现出的“超大安慰剂反应”。据披露，这些地区的患者属于“经过大量治疗的低风险人群”，在安慰剂对照下表现异常出色，包括一些“超级反应者”在仅使用安慰剂的情况下步行改善超过100米。 试验失败的消息导致Gossamer Bio股价从2月20日的每股2.13美元收盘价暴跌至2月23日的0.42美元，单日跌幅超过80%。 2026年4月9日，公司披露由于未能维持每股1.00美元的最低出价，已收到 纳斯达克 的退市警告。截至5月29日，该股收于0.23美元，仍远低于上市要求。 诉讼的核心矛盾在于：在集体诉讼期内，Gossamer管理层曾多次向投资者表达对PROSERA试验设计的信心。2025年11月，公司管理层还引用默克公司成功的3期STELLAR研究，向投资者保证“我们实际上有更多患者来自拉丁美洲的相同地理区域和相同站点”。然而，当试验失败后，公司却将失败归咎于正是拉美地区的“超大安慰剂反应”。这种反差构成了原告指控的核心——投资者基于误导性信息以人为抬高的价格购买了股票。 法院指定的首席原告是在所寻求的救济中拥有最大经济利益的投资者，负责代表拟议的集体指导和监督诉讼。任何推定集体的成员均可通过自己选择的律师向法院申请担任首席原告，也可以选择不采取任何行动，继续作为缺席的集体成员。是否担任首席原告并不影响获得任何赔偿的权利。 Gossamer ...

Barings BDC (NYSE: BBDC ), Bain Capital Specialty Finance (NYSE: BCSF ), and Crescent Capital BDC (NASDAQ: CCAP ) are among the most attractively valued U.S. mid-cap financial stocks, according to Seeking Alpha's valuation grades. Seeking Alpha's valuation grade compares how expensive or cheap a stock is relative to others in its specific sector. The score is calculated using a comprehensive combination of underlying valuation metrics—including P/E, PEG, EV/Sales, EV/EBITDA, EV/EBIT, Price/Sales, Price/Book, Price/Cash Flow, and dividend yield—factoring in both current and forward estimates. The screen highlighted attractive valuations among financial companies classified within the asset management and custody banks industry, including several business development companies and direct lending firms.

Pla2na A screen of U.S. small-cap REITs with market capitalizations between 300M and $2B highlights several real estate companies like Brandywine Realty Trust ( BDN ), Community Healthcare Trust ( CHCT ), and Innovative Industrial Properties ( IIPR ) trading at attractive valuation grades across office, industrial, healthcare, retail, and diversified property segments. Seeking Alpha's valuation grade system reflects how cheap or expensive a REIT is relative to its sector peers, based on a composite of key metrics including price-to-FFO, EV/EBITDA, price-to-book, price-to-cash flow, dividend yield, and forward valuation multiples. In the REIT space, these metrics are especially important as earnings are driven by FFO rather than traditional EPS. The screen reveals strong value opportunities across multiple property types, with many names receiving A+ and A valuation grades despite recent sector volatility and interest rate sensitivity. 10 small-cap U.S. REITs with top valuation grades (i.e., the cheapest REITs between $3M and $2B market cap): Brandywine Realty Trust ( BDN ): Valuation Grade A+ Community Healthcare Trust ( CHCT ): Valuation Grade A+ Innovative Industrial Properties ( IIPR ): Valuation Grade A+ NewLake Capital Partners ( NLCP ): Valuation Grade A+ AH Realty Trust ( AHRT ): Valuation Grade A CTO Realty Growth ( CTO ): Valuation Grade A Easterly Government Properties ( DEA ): Valuation Grade A Global Net Lease ( GNL ): Valuation Grade A Gladstone Commercial Corporation ( GOOD ): Valuation Grade A Piedmont Realty Trust ( PDM ): Valuation Grade A More on Brandywine Realty Trust, Community Healthcare, etc. CTO Realty Growth: A 7.46% Yield, Double-Digit FFO Growth, And A Setup Being Ignored Innovative Industrial Properties: Dual Beats And Fat Dividend Yield From Most Undervalued REIT Global Net Lease: Weak Financials With Weaker Outlook Warrant Avoiding Preferreds (Rating Downgrade) CTO Realty Growth declares $0.38 dividend Innovative Industrial Properties r...

格隆汇6月2日｜丹麦代理总理：同意组建新政府。已与中间派和左翼政党就组建新政府达成一致。

Joaquin Corbalan/iStock via Getty Images MP Materials ( MP ) up 8.9% and USA Rare Earth ( USAR ) up 6.4% in Monday's trading as Needham initiates coverage with Buy ratings and respective $81 and $39 price targets. Needham analyst Carter Goman sees MP Materials ( MP ), the largest producer of rare earth materials in the Western Hemisphere, as a "clear leader" with "early mover advantages," believing the sector is in the front end of a multi-year rare earths investment cycle as supply chains increasingly bifurcate between China and non-China. While significant amounts of capacity have been announced, Goman thinks MP's ( MP ) odds of success are among the highest, given legacy operations at Mountain Pass and the strength of the management team. "As we reach the latter part of the decade and into the 2030s, the story should shift focus back to demand growth, with broader EV adoption and eventually ramping humanoid robot deployments," Goman writes. The analyst also thinks USA Rare Earth ( USAR ) has assembled a unique collection of assets across the value chain, along with a strong management team, that position the company as a leader of the secular push to decouple rare earth magnet supply chains from China. With the Serra Verde acquisition expected to close in Q3, the integration of LCM, and first magnet shipments to customers beginning in H2 2026, Goman says USA Rare Earth ( USAR ) is "on the cusp of ramping meaningful capacity."

Emails and WhatsApp messages reveal string of exchanges with ministers when he was president of Global Counsel Peter Mandelson, as president of his then advisory firm Global Counsel, lobbied hard for ministers to attend his events and to meet his firm’s staff in the months following Labour’s general election win, newly released documents reveal. Emails and WhatsApp exchanges show how active the Labour peer was in the wake of the election to work his contacts within government to the potential advantage of both his company and his then campaign to be chancellor of Oxford University.

Apple (AAPL) Set to Launch New Bill-Splitting Feature in Upcomin GuruFocus

是德科技周一宣布，正与NTT DOCOMO及NTT株式会社展开合作，共同推进6G信道建模与无线通信仿真技术。该合作是三方此前签署的谅解备忘录的一部分，旨在加速6G无线通信设计、测试与测量技术的发展。目前，各方已在测量驱动的信道建模和分布式MIMO仿真方面取得阶段性进展。 随着6G研发的深入，业界越来越重视无线系统在复杂真实环境中的性能表现，包括城市区域、室内场馆及交通走廊等。然而，准确复现这些条件仍具挑战。外场测试成本高昂且难以重复，而简化的实验室模型可能无法完整捕捉影响波束成形、移动性和可靠性的传播效应。因此，更真实的信道建模和可扩展的仿真对于在部署前可靠评估下一代无线架构至关重要。 在此次合作中，是德科技与DOCOMO正利用真实的无线电传播测量数据优化信道模型，以便在实验室环境中更真实地模拟复杂的无线传播场景。与此同时，是德科技与NTT正推进分布式MIMO系统的仿真评估——该系统通过地理上分散部署的天线协同工作，以提升覆盖范围、网络容量及通信可靠性。 责任编辑：张俊 SF065

McDonald's ( MCD ) is still testing a chicken wing menu item as it looks to upgrade its menu and compete with a new subset of fast-food chains. Bloomberg reported on Monday that McDonald's ( MCD ) is experimenting with hand-breaded chicken wings as a potential addition to the national menu. Earlier this year, McDonald's added bone-in fried chicken wings to test menus at select locations in the Chicago market, where they are being sold alongside other new chicken items such as a McSpicy sandwich, grilled chicken sandwiches, and new McCrispy tenders and strip flavors. Local food coverage noted that the wings use a spicy breading similar to international McSpicy products and are positioned as part of a more aggressive chicken offering. During McDonald's ( MCD ) last earnings conference call, CEO Chris Kempczinski noted that the chicken category is bigger than beef globally, and it's growing twice as fast. "So the opportunity, the headroom for us in chicken, is really quite significant," he highlighted. If McDonald's ( MCD ) adds new chicken menu items like wings to its permanent menu, it could be able to pull incremental traffic from quick-service chicken players such as Chick-fil-A, KFC ( YUM ), Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen ( QSR ), Church's Chicken, Wingstop ( WING ), Raising Cane's, Dave's Hot Chicken, Zaxby's, and Bojangles.

Adobe 今日宣布，将于2026年6月11日美股盘后发布2026财年第二季度财务业绩。财报发布后，公司管理层将于美国东部时间下午5：00举行网络直播电话会议，讨论业绩表现并回答分析师提问。 根据FactSet的共识预期，分析师预计Adobe第二季度非GAAP每股收益为5.01美元，营收预计在64.3亿至64.8亿美元之间。公司此前给出的官方指引为：营收64.3亿至64.8亿美元，非GAAP每股收益5.80至5.85美元，GAAP每股收益4.35至4.40美元。第一季度，Adobe实现营收64亿美元，同比增长12%，非GAAP每股收益6.06美元，双双超出市场预期。 投资者将密切关注几个核心指标：数字媒体业务的年度经常性收入增长、Firefly等AI产品的商业化进展，以及创意云和专业消费者业务的订阅增长势头。第一季度总ARR达260.6亿美元，同比增长10.9%，AI优先应用的ARR同比增长超过两倍。 过去一年，Adobe正经历从传统软件许可模式向AI驱动的订阅服务的深度转型。公司在4月的Adobe Summit上发布了Firefly AI Assistant，这是一款由创意代理驱动的对话式工具，能够在Firefly、Photoshop、Premiere等应用中执行复杂的多步骤工作流。5月，Adobe又推出了生产力代理，将Acrobat数十年的文档智能整合到统一的代理界面中，支持聊天式PDF交互、自动生成演示文稿、播客和博客等内容。 在Computex 2026期间，Adobe宣布与英伟达深化合作，将Photoshop、Premiere和Substance 3D原生优化适配英伟达RTX Spark超级芯片，承诺AI驱动的编辑、色彩校正和渲染性能提升最高达2倍。 尽管AI创新持续推进，Adobe股价年初至今仍下跌约30%，较2024年高点累计跌幅近60%。市场对生成式AI原生企业的竞争担忧持续压制估值。Adobe目前拥有250亿美元股票回购授权，约占总市值的23%，为股价提供了一定支撑。 分析师平均目标价约为338美元，较当前股价高出约30%。在覆盖Adobe的26位分析师中，整体共识评级为“适度买入”。财报电话会议中，管理层关于AI功能商业化路径、传统业务下滑趋势以及全年ARR增长目标的评论，将是决定股价后续走势的关键变量。 投资者可通过Adobe官网投资者关系页面...

Bongkod Worakandecha/iStock via Getty Images When I last wrote about the Quadratic Interest Rate Volatility and Inflation Hedge ETF ( IVOL ) in late March , I believed US interest rate curves would steepen. The range that I thought was particularly ripe for steepening was the difference between 2-year floating rates (which are very sensitive to Federal Reserve rate policy) and 10-year floating rates (which are more sensitive to longer-run economic factors and the size of the Federal Reserve balance sheet). Worries about inflation, largely stemming from commodity disruptions thanks to the Strait of Hormuz closure, have since percolated. That concern has changed the WIRP (World Interest Rate Probability) from no more cuts this year and maybe two cuts in 2027 to a 95% probability of a 25 basis point rate hike over the next year. This sentiment change has flattened the curve between 2-year floating rates and 10-year rates by 33 basis points from the beginning of the year. Floating Rate 2s 10s Spot (Bloomberg) While the slope of the curve is right around where it was when I wrote my first article, 1-year forward spreads (the market for the 2yr vs. the 10yr one year out) have come in over 25 basis points, from close to 50 basis points to just over 20. The total loss from the steepest mark is 42 basis points (a 65% decline). 1 Yr Forward 2s 10s (Bloomberg) This movement has caused considerable pain for IVOL as the fund buys call options on curve steepness in the future. As future curves flatten, the value of IVOL's options declines. Therefore, while the fund's holdings of TIPS via ( SCHP ) are up 1%, the losses from the options have led to a 3.5% loss since my article. Not terrible, but certainly nothing that makes me skip home. There is, however, a silver lining here that indicates the strength of IVOL. While the fund suffered some mark-to-market losses from its options, those losses would have been much larger if the bet had just used futures to express the bet on the cu...

Coffee consumption remains a staple of daily life, and to gain exposure to this market, investors can decide between the global dominance of Starbucks (NASDAQ:SBUX) and the aggressive expansion of Dutch Bros (NYSE:BROS) . Starbucks serves millions of customers across dozens of international markets, relying on its premium brand and massive scale. Dutch Bros focuses on a high-speed, drive-thru experience with a younger, culture-driven vibe. While both operate in the same beverage space, their financial profiles and growth trajectories offer very different opportunities for retail investors. Starbucks operates a global network of company-owned and licensed stores, selling premium coffee and food. Its strategy centers on the "Third Place" experience, though it is increasingly leaning into digital ordering and delivery. The company manages a massive loyalty program that drives repeat business across its 78 international markets, which include a major presence in China. Continue reading

Milan_Jovic/iStock via Getty Images Church & Dwight ( CHD ) reported earnings at the start of May and posted better-than-expected results, continuing its long-standing streak of earnings beats. The company did post strong organic growth to the tune of 5% versus an outlook of 3% for the quarter and reiterated their full-year guide. While this largely checked investor boxes, the stock has languished with its sector and has underperformed the broader market considerably over the last month. While this is to be expected given the rotation away from defensives right now, the stock still looks rich relative to peers, and tougher compares will mark Q1 as the high point of the year. Revisiting Q1 Earnings & Forward Compares Quarterly earnings for CHD were largely solid, aided by easier compares. Q1 organic growth came in better at 5% versus the company's 3% outlook. This was driven by 5.3% volume growth partially offset by negative pricing and a mix of 0.3%. Domestic results outpaced international at 5.4% growth in the United States, while international posted still strong growth at 3.7%. The company's Specialty Products division also grew organically by 3.1%. BamSEC Adjusted EPS came in at $0.95, up 4.4% y/y. The company beat street estimates by $0.02, and the top line beat modestly by $13 million at $1.47 billion. This continues the long-standing streak of quarterly earnings beats. The quarter saw decent growth in Therabreath, Arm & Hammer cat litter, and Oxiclean, while Waterpik continued to decline. International showed a similar brand-level performance. The only thing to note about performance in International was that the company saw lower Middle East regional sales as a result of the ongoing geopolitical conflicts.

The company also noted that the ongoing pressure from the Middle East is largely going to be transitory and will not impact full-year guidance. Net sales -1.5% to -0.5%, reflecting ...

纽约知名国家安全诉讼律所Faruqi & Faruqi， LLP正在对New Era Energy & Digital， Inc．展开调查，并提醒投资者，在该公司证券集体诉讼中寻求担任首席原告的截止日期为2026年6月1日。 该诉讼代表在2024年11月6日至2025年12月29日期间购买或以其他方式收购New Era Energy & Digital， Inc．证券的所有个人和实体提起。 诉讼指控称，在整个集体诉讼期内，被告做出了虚假和/或误导性陈述，且/或未能披露以下事项：公司夸大了其旗舰项目德克萨斯州关键数据中心在许可和监管申报方面的进展；公司参与了一项欺诈性计划，通过关联实体转移油井然后将承担责任的公司置于破产状态，以逃避封堵和修复费用；因此，公司的财务业绩是虚假和/或误导性的；基于上述原因，被告关于公司业务、运营和前景的积极陈述具有重大误导性和/或缺乏合理依据。当真相进入市场时，投资者蒙受了损失。 2025年12月12日，Investing.com发布文章称，做空机构Fuzzy Panda Research发布了一份严厉的报告后，New Era Energy & Digital的股票“暴跌”。该报告指控公司用于股票推广的费用是其油气井运营费用的2.5倍，并称公司首席执行官E． Will Gray II在约20年的时间里有“将细价股公司经营至破产”的历史。在此消息影响下，该公司股价当日下跌了6.9%。 随后，在2025年12月29日，媒体报道新墨西哥州总检察长已提起诉讼，指控公司、其CEO及关联公司网络利用空壳公司实施欺诈性油气计划，以避免履行封堵废弃油井等环境责任。受此消息影响，NUAI股价当日暴跌41%，收于每股2.69美元。 法院指定的首席原告是在所寻求的救济中拥有最大经济利益的投资者，其作为集体成员的代表，负责代表拟议的集体指导和监督诉讼。任何推定集体的成员均可通过自己选择的律师向法院申请担任首席原告，也可以选择不采取任何行动，继续作为缺席的集体成员。是否担任首席原告并不影响获得任何赔偿的权利。 Faruqi & Faruqi， LLP是一家成立于1995年的全国性证券律师事务所，在纽约、宾夕法尼亚、加利福尼亚和佐治亚州设有办事处，迄今已为投资者追回数亿美元。该律所还鼓励了解New Era公司相关情况的任何人士（包括举报人、前雇员、股东及其他知情人士...

mustafaU/iStock via Getty Images Market Recap The U.S. stock market continued chugging along in May with little concern about the unresolved conflict in Iran, inflation ticking higher, and elevated oil prices. It seems as if investors don't care about the long term ramifications of these issues and instead continue to focus on AI optimism. Of course, not all stocks have participated in this recent rally, and we are seeing more volatility from individual names. The SPDR® S&P 500 ETF Trust ( SPY ) rose by 5.26% last month and is now up 11.24% year-to-date. Dividend stocks also posted a positive gain, but the Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF ( SCHD ) only rose by 1.34%. The popular dividend ETF is up 19.48% in 2026 and continues to remain ahead of SPY, but that gap has been quickly shrinking. Regardless of which way the market moves, investors shouldn't dwell on what already happened but instead look to the future. As such, I ran my monthly stock screening process looking for opportune dividend stocks to consider for the month of June. The main objective for this stock screening process is to separate signal from noise and to present me with potentially opportune investment ideas to consider for further review. Rather than focusing on short-term price movements or news headlines, I choose to focus on fundamental growth, deviations from fair value, and future return potential. The stock selection process was updated slightly; if you'd like to read in detail about the original process, you can do so in the first article of the series here . In a nutshell, I screen the U.S. stock market for companies with a track record of fundamental growth, an economic moat, and a dividend yield of at least 2.5%. Then I use dividend yield theory to get a quick valuation snapshot, and I estimate future return potential by combining the following metrics: Forward Dividend Yield Projected Earnings Growth Valuation Expansion or Contraction The minor changes implemented this month were to the...

Nvidia’s AI Monopoly Could Push It to Become a $10 Trillion Company by 2030 Barchart

Official Red Hat NPM accounts have been compromised and used to push a malicious worm that spreads from machine to machine, where it pilfers sensitive credentials in hopes of stealing yet more confidential data, researchers said. The supply-chain attack began Monday and remained active at the time this post went live, according to researchers at security firm Aikido. It’s the result of the threat actor responsible for the hack taking control of @redhat-cloud-services, a legitimate channel in the npm repository that’s reserved for official Red Hat packages. As such, the channel is widely trusted by developers who rely on Red Hat cloud services. The vicious cycle of today’s supply-chain attacks It’s unclear precisely how the threat actor took control of the namespace, but it almost certainly involved the compromise of credentials required to access it, possibly through a previous supply-chain attack. More than 30 packages seem to be affected. Read full article Comments
